This chapter “Sustainable City Logistics” explores how cities are transitioning toward more efficient, low-emission, and multimodal logistics systems. Traditional urban freight has long depended on vans and trucks, which, while essential, contribute significantly to congestion, emissions, and noise. …

This paper presents case-based insights into the institutional and technical integration of local multi-commodity energy systems, focusing on electricity, hydrogen, and heat within the industrial cluster of Groningen Sea Ports in the Netherlands. A local market clearing platform, trading agents representing …

This thesis investigates the restoration and structural reinforcement of a historically protected 19th-century residential building on the island of Hydra, Greece. Undertaken within the strict constraints of Greek heritage law (ΦΕΚ 594Δ/1978), the project aims to enhance structural safety and environmental …

When examining enrollment and graduation grades, higher education remains less accessible for first-generation students. Dutch first-generation students are also less likely to attend honors talent programs. However, not much is known what is driving these effects. First-generation honors students might …

This deliverable is one of the results of the project Research on Energy Data Utilization for Carbon Emission Decline by Heat pumps and Efficiency, while Assuring Thermal Comfort Achievement in Residential Buildings (REDUCEDHEATCARB). This deliverable lists and links to the open source and open hardware …

Het is een populair en veel onderzocht gegeven dat het principe van ‘soort zoekt soort’ een belangrijke rol speelt in het aangaan van relaties en het onderhouden van langdurige vriendschappen. Veel minder bekend is echter dat deze compatibiliteit ook een belangrijke factor kan zijn in het onderwijs en …

Abstract The upcoming EURO 7 regulation requires significant CO2 reductions in road freight, targeting towing vehicles and semitrailers. Semitrailers face a 10% reduction goal, with limited gains from aerodynamic tweaks and low rolling resistance tires, making electrification the most promising solution. …

Post-earthquake structural damage shows that out-of-plane (OOP) wall collapse is one of the most common failure mechanisms in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. This issue is particularly critical in Groningen, a province located in the northern part of the Netherlands, where low-intensity induced …

This bachelorandapos;s thesis focuses on developing a custom control rig for Meshcapadeandapos;s SMPL body 3D models in Blender. The objective was to create an automated control rig that enhances the animation process by adding advanced features like Inverse Kinematics (IK) and Forward Kinematics (FK). …
